Increasing Demand For Clean Water

Water is one of the most basic elements for life. In all corners of the
globe, shortages of water and sanitation persist. Consequently, nations
throughout the world have started to secure clean and safe water resources
while protecting their citizens against water-related disasters. Today, water
issues are not matters of a single region or nation, but matters that require
global solidarity and joint counter-measures. Tackling water challenges has
become a global topic for the 21st century.

Lonza
is pursuing growth opportunities created by megatrend demands for clean water
across multiple market segments in emerging markets and around the globe.
Whether for drinking, cooking, agricultural irrigation, beverage production,
food processing or industrial applications, water is an increasingly scarce and
valuable resource.

Through
Lonza’s social media campaign “Clean Water – Brighter Future,” we are raising
public awareness about global water issues. In addition, we are educating
people about water, sanitation and hygiene concerns around the world; and we are
creating a call to action by giving people advice on what they can do
personally to fight the scarcity of clean water. At the same time, we are
presenting our own industrial water applications, solutions and innovations to
tackle these problems.

Water Treatment’s Industrial, Commercial, Municipal and Surface Water (ICMS)
business offers drinking water sanitizer feeder systems that have a strong
presence in North America, including sanitizing a majority of the drinking water wells on Long Island, NY (USA). We also provide algaecides to address toxic
algae blooms that can affect the taste, odor and quality of water drawn from
surface water reservoirs.

In
crowded urban areas, the pressure on water is so great that municipalities and
industries are treating and recycling waste waters so that they can be used for
other purposes. We provide both sanitizers and organic coagulants that treat
the water and reduce the amount of sludge, which in turn means less waste
disposal. Our simple, reliable, drinking-water sanitizing systems also provide
clean drinking water in urban areas throughout the world.
